The Lyft community consists of people in need of rides and people ready to provide them, with all of this interaction going through a mobile app. Okay, not all of it. Before now, users have not been able to enter their desired destinations while requesting a ride, but the latest update addresses this by tucking the functionality in. This lets users tell the driver where they want to go before they arrive, getting the ride started faster and saving everyone time. And, as is especially true in this industry, time is money.

Version 1.4.3 also introduces a detailed breakdown of remaining credit balances, which is nifty. These features come in time for the service to expand into the cities of Cincinnati, Detroit, Tampa, and Tucson.
